In a move that has left millions of Americans uncertain about their food assistance, the Supreme Court has extended a temporary order blocking full payments under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The decision, made on Tuesday, November 11, maintains a system where some recipients are receiving their full monthly benefits, while others are left without any assistance. The temporary order is set to expire at midnight on Thursday, November 13, just in time for Congress to potentially approve a deal to reopen the government. If passed, this would pave the way for SNAP payments to resume for millions of individuals. However, the timeline for restoring full benefits remains unclear. As lawmakers work towards a resolution, millions of Americans are left waiting to see if they will receive the food assistance they rely on. The Supreme Court's decision serves as a reminder of the ongoing government shutdown and its far-reaching consequences for those in need of essential support.
